Ed’s father and stepmom live in Central Florida. Ed’s dad is a retired electrician and his step-mom is a retired home maker. Ed’s mother lives in North Arkansas and is a retired nurse.

With Stacey’s Mother, Sister & Brother-in-Law
When the families get together we like to have barbecues, swim in our pool, relax on the boat and enjoy the beach. We all enjoy sports and like watching them live or on television. Our entire family is ecstatic over our decision to add another member to the family and cannot wait to share in the experience. We are very fortunate to have most of our extended families living very close to us. We spend a lot of time together, whether it be holidays, birthdays, or just getting together on a Sunday afternoon to barbecue.
While our house was being completed, and our Condo was already sold, we needed a place to live. Stacey's
sister and husband offered us to stay at their house until ours was completed. Little did we know that it would turn into two months!!!! During this time, we had a lot of fun bonding. Stacey did all the cooking and her
sister cleaned. We still don't know who had the best deal in that one!! It made the time go by quick. We were able to spend even more quality time with our niece. We enjoy attending all of her high school softball games, and now look forward to her college games.
Our House and Neighborhood
Our Home
We purchased our first home together in Northern New Jersey in May of 2007. It is a brand new single family home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a 2 car detached garage. Since we enjoy summer activities, we installed an above ground pool with a fenced in backyard.

We enjoy walking to the neighborhood park and visiting with our neighbors. We live near two elementary schools and the high school is right down the road. Our neighborhood is very child friendly.
